COLLAR-STUD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 6, 1910.

Patented Oct. 25, 1910.

Serial No. 559,781.

To all whom 'it may concern.

Be it known that I, LOUIS J OHANN FER- 'DINAND HUBERT, a subject of theEmperor of Germany, residing at Leipzig, Germany, have invented certainImprovements in Collar-Studs, of which the following is a specification.

Collar studs which are permanently connectcd to the back of the necktieare already known. It is also known to divide such studs longitudinallyand to form the head by sharp bends on the parts of the shank.

My invention relates to a stud of the above-mentioned type and consistsin the provision of a pivoted lever to which one part of the stud isconnected, the stud being introduced with closed parts through thecollar and the shirt and then secured to the button holes by separatingthe parts by means of the lever which is adapted to be retained in bothpositions.

In the accompanying drawing the invention is illustrated, Figure 1representing a side View, oartly in section, of the arrangement, Fig. 2,a front View of the same with closed stud, Fig. 3, a plan of Fig. 2,Fig. 4, a front View of the arrangement with open stud, Fig. 5, a planof Fig. 4, Fig. 6, a cross-section along line AB of Fig. 1, Fig. 7, asimilar view showing the lever in a different position, and Fig. 8, aperspective view of the arrangement as connected to the necktie.

On a base plate a, which is provided with holes I) to allow of fasteningthe same to the necktie, one half 0 of a collar stud 0 is mounted inknown manner. The other half 0 of the stud is mounted on a lever d whichis pivoted at e to the base plate. By means of said lever, the parts ofthe stud can be closed up as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and

separated as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. For retaining the lever ineitherposition, suitable means are provided, for instance a bulb g on thelever adapted to slip over a bulb f on the base plate. The head of thestud is formed by suitable bends i and 70 on the parts of the shank h.

The device is connected to the necktie as shown in Fig. 8, and, when thefixing of collar and tie is to be-efiected, the stud, with closed upparts, is passed through the but ton holes of the collar and the shirt.Thereupon the lever cl is turned, as shown in .Fig. 4, the parts of thestud being thereby separated. In the latter position the stud engagesthe button holes so that a firm connection of the elements is efiected.The bends i and 70 must be sufliciently sharp to prevent the head fromwedging itself through the button holes.

A very simple and reliable fastening is obtained by the arrangement.

I claim A collar stud of the character described, comprising a baseplate connected to the back of the necktie, a stud dividedlongitudinally in two parts one of which is mounted directly on the baseplate, a lever pivoted to the base plate and adapted to carry the otherpart of the stud so that the parts can be separated by turningsaid leverfor securing the stud to the button holes of collar and shirt after itsintroduction, and means for retaining the lever in normal as Well as inoperated position, substantially as set forth.
